Lay out cardboard in selected area, and soak it completely

Arrange your top soil bags, slash holes in the bottoms for drainage, and cut open the top for planting.

add some fertilizer to the dirt, plant your veggies/flowers. tomato and zucchinis get 1 per bag

completely cover bags and cardboard in a finely ground mulch. cage plants that need it, water, and PRESTO! a garden!

well, we are all moved. the first day in the house we had an appointment scheduled for our Internet to be hooked up. we soon found out there are no phone or cable lines run to the house. so, we are now waiting for comcast to dig under our neighbors driveway and run a cable to our house.
so, we are kinda off grid right now. we do have our iPhones and that’s how I’m posting this. but I can’t upload a full podcast from here, much to my dismay.
anyhoo,
I will try to sit down this week and get something recorded so that as soon as we have access I can upload the podcast for your listening pleasure! thanks so much for your patience and understanding!
